With that kind of simplified keyboard, I guess it's actually targeted at the same audience as N97. Bummer.
But of course that was obvious when there was the HUGE discussion and back-and-forth about the fact that it was including a phone in the new tablet - which to many users was a dilution of the geek target audience. Nokia is trying to sell to the most common market denominator - the ordinary user - and that is OK.
I'm going to go the opposite way... it looks clunky and it has a smaller screen than the NIT's.
A forward facing camera... et al. If used, then will get my attention. The keyboard, I'm not a fan of, no d-pad... definitely a loss to me. None of those were surprises, but seeing them now... I'm not too enthusiastic. But the space being under the thumb... I can live with that. In fact, that's a plus.
I just know that the price will be insane unsubsidized. $700 (almost) for the lesser powered N97. This will be a wallet-buster.
But the 5mp camera? That's one of the biggest pluses.

Not only the 5MPix camera, but as far as I know this should serve as a good video camera as well. I have been waiting long time to find a "all in one" device that also takes decent video. (I'm tired of carrying a separate video camera during our vacation trips etc...)

You are still waiting?? Do you mean "you" as a community member?

I missed my chance to own an N93i - I wanted it for that purpose... good camera with video.
But as it stands, it needs to also support codecs that I use. And Ogg Theora is not one I use. I'm just saying.
Any one else notice that the video out cable only has 2 connectors? Video and one sound channel. I would've liked to see stereo out instead of just mono. Great for presentations, maybe watching a movie on a lower end hotel TV. Or if they are thinking presentations, will the video out even support a decent frame rate for watching movies?
